The Resource Centre originated from a women's health project called "Women's health from a women's perspective". Over a period of four years, a network of NGOs and universities throughout Indonesia, concerned with gender and women's health issues, was established. The main objectives of this project were to increase knowledge regarding the complexity of women's health issues, to disseminate information from Jakarta to the outer islands, to publish a monthly newsletter and networking. After four years, a more permanent form was desired and the resource centre was born. In addition to the above mentioned objectives the resource center provides technical support to network members (through a newsletter, Internet, mail) and organizes cross country visits. It also organizes study tours for Indonesian NGOs to enable them to conduct comparative studies in the Netherlands. Language: Indonesian.
